Ccplious And Sillx Then was s singular point of exception hkcn by Hugh Plaxton, (Liberal) Z\l.P., when he ap- peared by order of the Davis Commission to give evidence in the Bren gun inquiry. H: ss- sened that, as a member of Parliament he was not subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, that its terms of reference were ultra vircs of the Crown insofar as they directed an investigation of the connection of any member of the House with the Bren gun contract. “I ask it to be understood,” declared this young .\l.P., “that in entering the box I am not waiving, compromising, or alienating any of the privileges that belong to the House of Com- mons and which may obtain so in: u one of its members.” - i “You are not,” asked the Commissioner, Mr. jiiqice Davis, “making any reservations as to the cxtcnt to which you will submit to examina- tion?" "That is true." replied Mr Plaxton, “but there are no doubt privileges of the House of (fnmmnns which obtain (sic) to rne personally.

Pelee Island has become a mecca for hunters. and the an- nual pheasant shoots ln this most Canada are southern point known internationally among sportsmen. Pelee Island fa be- coming recognized as the asset it should be to Canada. and the pheasants are now appreciated as an asset to the island. Few Canadians appreclata what they have in Pelee Island. The pheas- ant shoots are popularfzfng ft, and those who engage ln them come away with a pleasant knowledge of the fine beaches. the pleasant climate, the good fishing and rural beauty of the island. Borne day Pelee will develop Into one of the great playgrounds of Ontario, with cottages llnlng its beaches of tourists enjoying its facilities as a holiday land.
